Buying a projector lamp without housing or a cage might save you money, but it can also buy you a trip to the ER if your system malfunctions.
A projector lamp system is a far more complicated system that it might seem at first. Of course, you already knew something was special about this system, after all, it is much more expensive that you might normally pay for, well, anything. However, being able to see vivid images and projection in your home isn’t child’s play. Some might think that buying the projector lamp without housing or a cage might be the way to trim a few expenses from the budget. But in reality, all this does is open you up to danger – and not just from the bad acting on the big screen.
No Housing, No Safety
When you buy a house, you wouldn’t pick out the one building on the block without a roof, would you? Of course not. You want to have things in your life that protect you from rain and from harm. When you choose to buy projector lamps without housing or a cage, you are allowing the high pressure tube to be vulnerable to damage. And once this tube is damaged, your movie isn’t just over, but your life can be in trouble too.
That tube holds high pressured and toxic mercury vapors. Mercury can seep into your lungs, causing permanent damage. And since the vapor is under intense pressure, it will spread throughout the room quickly once it is dispersed. This is bad news. Repeat this aloud: This is VERY bad news.
And bare bulbs are difficult to install anyway, so why cause yourself the trouble of having to attempt this sort of task on your own? It just sounds like a horror movie waiting to happen.
Spend More to Save Your Health
Look, you wouldn’t buy a car without a seatbelt and you wouldn’t boil water in the palm of your hand, so you need to look at projector lamps that have all the right parts for protecting your health and the health of your family. That housing and the cage will help to secure the light in a place where it is less likely to be damaged and to cause troubles.
You’re already spending a fair amount of money on the projector lamp, so why not spend the additional money to keep your investment safe – oh, and your health too.
